Mr. John McKeon:
The payment arrangements for the two sets of providers are different. We pay the costs of the local employment services. Therefore, it is a cost-recovery model. We agree the budget with the services at the beginning of the year. On JobPath, there is an outcomes-based payment, based on whether something is made work or not.
